PC running slow - virus?
I use two laptops at home, both of which seem to have acquired different viruses. I'm trying to fix the least seriously infected one first, so at least I have one usable machine while I attempt to fix the other. My Gmail and Facebook etc were hacked last week, which is when I installed Norton and discovered these viruses. My admin passwords and my router password were all the same as the hacked Gmail password (all passwords have now been changed). Norton tells me that laptop #1 has a severe tracking virus which is sending information back to the internet and hijacking my browser, so I've taken that one offline and I'm attempting to fix laptop #2 because it seems less serious.
Laptop #2 is running very slowly despite the fact I have already reinstalled Windows XP from the recovery partition and followed the various steps suggested in this forum (defrag and chkdsk etc). IE in particular runs very slowly and frequently hangs, particularly when I'm trying to access Gmail, and I have to close the program and try again. I have run Norton, Spyware Doctor, Spybot and CCleaner, but they found and removed nothing but tracking cookies. Disk space was running low, but I think it was because Norton was repeatedly backing up files every time I ran it; I have now fixed this. Below is the DDS log for laptop #2. Other files are in the attached zip folder. Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer.

Re: PC running slow - virus?
Bump after three days please:)
I may have found another issue - I tried to access the valid site hxxp://www.empirecinemas.co.uk and I missed the S off the end and got sent to hxxp://searchportal.information.com which looks to be a very dodgy site. This happens in both Firefox and IE. I was thinking that it might be a virus redirecting me, but it does not happen every single time I misspell a domain name, it only happens in this one case from what I can see, so maybe those people actually own that domain? Apart from that, my laptop seems to be running ok now, although I'd be grateful if someone could briefly look at the logs I posted above just to confirm that they look clean. Thanks in advance. |
